Call centre volunteers have given the grounds of Gilesgate Primary School, in Durham, a makeover.
Seven workers from EDF Energy, Doxford Park, Sunderland, have helped with a ten-month landscaping project under the firm's Helping Hands initiative, which gives employees time off for voluntary work.
They built raised flower beds and two tree benches for youngsters to sit on.
Headteacher Mark Turner said: "The hard work of the staff, pupils, parents and local businesses has enabled us to create the most up-to-date surroundings for young children in Durham City."
Claire Naisbitt, EDF Energy's resource manager, said the Helping Hands scheme was a tremendous success.
